M. Chapoutier Cote Rotie ‘Neve’ 2021 bernhard-ott The 34 hectares of vines

The 34 hectares of vines grow on a layer of chalk-rich soil veined with clay

a balanced proportion of limestone and well-distributed clay that guarantees a regular supply of water and minerals

Structured and tannic but with all the elegance and refinement of a Grand Cru Classé

the wine is racked from barrel to tank and filtered to bottle

Very nice colour between red garnet and ruby

M. Chapoutier Cote Rotie ‘Neve’ 2021 bernhard-ott The 34 hectares of vinesTasting notes Appearance: Very deep and black with satiny tints. Nose: The first nose is dominated by notes of graphite and cold smoke, and then opens up to notes of bramble leaves and mixed berries. Palate: Compact on entry, with chiselled tannins and notes of black pepper and roasting over a saline finish. Verticality and purity are the keywords here.
